Over the past few days, we worked on apostrophe usage and continued our study of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven". I went through a PowerPoint explaining each stanza of the poem, and students completed questions/notes as we went through it. After that, students had time to find 10 poetic devices in the poem. Additionally, we watched a video adaptation.
We also worked on a 'One Pager' assignment for "The Raven":
- Include a title and the author
- A visual interpretation of the poem
- Pick one quote from the poem and explain its significance
- Write 2-3 sentences explaining the internal conflict in the poem
- Write 2-3 sentences explaining how Poe establishes mood and atmosphere
